Brown Paper Packages . . .That's a Wrap!

Two weeks till Christmas!  So unless you are like me, still have most of my shopping left to do, lol, then you are starting to think of all that wrapping to do!  Here are a few beautiful ways to wrap, using your craft supplies and simple brown paper packaging.

Get out your punches and dies and extra bits of Christmas pattern paper!

These packages use stickers from the dollar store - great idea for getting the kids to help! - but you could do the same with stickers in your own collection (you know you have some of those left over from the early 2000's, come on!):

casasugar.com

Add some simple strips of pattern paper, ribbon and a tag:

Dress it up a touch more with some fresh or fake twigs and berries:

Stamps, dies, or chipboard letters lying around?  Add them as Monograms to packages instead of tags!

How about some washi tape?!  Super simple way to dress it up - if you can stand to part with some washi that is, lol!

Got little gifts to give?  Upcycle some toilet paper tubes, add some washi tape and string!

This, I think, would be the most fun - splatter some paint, yay!

So make gift wrapping fun this year and get crafty!
